I'm having a little trouble deciphering your spreadsheet and would like to move forward with my swap. I currently have the transmission, UUC flywheel, and a driveshaft. I know that I need a clutch, pedals, clutch master/slave, etc. What I don't know is what bolts I'll actually need to complete this swap. I'm a little lost in your spreadsheet. Maybe you can email me at donaldewalker3@gmail.com or text me at 214-603-9594 and help a guy out. Thanks!

Hi Robert - I responded to your PM a little more in depth. Yes the tranny output shaft is the same. However you may need to either replace the differential or change the input flange out to accommodate the drive-line. I'm not sure if Pre 09/2001 cars have the same input shaft on the diff.

I`m looking to put 6 speed manual gearbox from 2004 325ti to 2001 330ci 5 speed manual. I wanted to ask you if gearbox ends are different? Do I need a driveline from that Ti car or I can keep existing and change change length.
